This will minimise travel time which is the primary focus for most people using HS2. There is plenty of alternative scope for further investment into the ever improving City Centre. I think the City has already transformed from 15 years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3199919321583468611.post-59255397313556598912015-09-20T10:45:00.623+01:002015-09-20T10:45:00.623+01:00To be honest the best location is Meadowhall.Sheff...To be honest the best location is Meadowhall.Sheffield city centre lol it's bad enough now getting into town centre now never mind if they start building Hs2 rail track it will definitely effect all the businesses even closure.Wake up Sheffield city council!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3199919321583468611.post-89163766772481936162015-09-08T22:47:31.833+01:002015-09-08T22:47:31.833+01:00it's a no brainer for me - it has to be in she...it's a no brainer for me - it has to be in sheffield city centre to ensure the economic benefits are realised.

The HS2 is to benefit ALL in the 'North' and a site at Meadowhall would be a greater to advantage to many more people than just Sheffield.

At a guess Sheffield has say 25% of the total population of the whole City Region - so who are Sheffield City Council to dictate to the other 75% of the City Region (who want the adjacent to M1 location). <br />People with long memories will remember that, after an apparently strange process, we in S. Yorks. ended up with a too small airport in the wrong place. Guess where it was - in Sheffield. Had it been built in the right place - on the edge of Rotherham - we would still have it and not be the only significant city region without an airport!

They should stop all this 'Sheffield City Region' stuff which is just a way for Sheffield to take credit for everything in SY. This is getting daft. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
